I must get round to sticking one in my 16v, these engines are crying out for a bit of extra spinning freedom.

£69 including return delivery. He said I should have it back by the end of the week provided it arrives in good time. (tracking progress still says processing though  :angry:) Cost me nearly £15 to send it through royal mail!

Whats the standard weight on a 8v flywheel? I thought the were lightened and the 16v were heavier ...i was led to believe.

Thanks

4 branch manifold, ported head, ported throttle body

to make it rev faster it needs to be able to take air in at a greater rate with least resistance and to do the same getting it out
